Iridescent Red Hematite with Raw Rutile Fine Mineral Specimen
Description
This exceptional mineral specimen features vibrant red Hematite displaying natural rainbow iridescence, beautifully accented by raw Rutile crystal formations. The Hematite’s surface shimmers with flashes of color that shift dramatically under light, while the Rutile adds sculptural depth and metallic contrast. The result is a specimen that feels both elemental and otherworldly — a true natural artwork formed through complex geological processes.
Dimensions & Weight
Dimensions: 1.5” x 1.5” x 0.25”
Weight: 31g
Collector’s Notes
Iridescent Hematite with associated Rutile is a standout combination within elite mineral collections. Natural rainbow iridescence — not artificially enhanced — is a key factor in collector value. This specimen’s balance of aesthetic drama and mineralogical integrity makes it an excellent choice for collectors seeking visually distinctive and uncommon associations.
The iridescence enhances the specimen’s dimensionality, drawing the eye across the surface and highlighting the raw crystalline textures. This piece is especially striking in display environments where lighting can interact with its reflective qualities.
Highlights
Red Hematite with strong natural rainbow iridescence
Raw Rutile crystal association
Highly reflective, light-reactive surface
Bold coloration and metallic textures
Display-worthy specimen with collector appeal
Metaphysical Properties
Hematite is commonly associated with grounding, protection, and strength, while Rutile is believed to enhance insight and energetic flow. The rainbow iridescence is often linked to transformation and higher awareness, making this specimen especially appealing to collectors who value energetic symbolism alongside natural beauty.
Mineralogy
Minerals: Hematite, Rutile
Mineral Class: Oxides
Crystal Systems: Trigonal (Hematite), Tetragonal (Rutile)
